18 Travel Must-Haves

If you want your holiday to be a great one, don’t leave home without our top 18 travel essentials:

Navigation: Built into your car, a plug in or on your phone, attempting unfamiliar roads in an unfamiliar province – often under construction resulting in unforeseen detours – may leave you clueless as to where you have to go and save hours in getting you where you need to be quickly and easily.

A quick-grab pouch loaded with some cash, credit and fuel cards, and copies all your essential documents such as driver’s licence, ID and car registration papers.

A cooler bag or box with snack, drinks and water to munch on while driving or for a roadside stop.

Travel sickness tablets and an emergency medical kit with plasters, ointments and other obvious meds the family may need.

A small aim-and-shoot digital camera, or your mobile phone camera set to high-resolution quality to capture all those memorable moments.

Games – for the kids while in the car and for the family to enjoy together in the evening. Holidays are about quality time together, after all…
